i tunes does not accept 32bit float exact ? I don't use iTunes, but probably not. 32 bit float format is primarily used as a production format (because of it's extreme precision). 32 bit float is way over the top for playback purposes as even the best professional hardware has no more than 23 bits ...

There are several approaches that you could take, depending mostly on how much trouble you want to go to.
